FIRST EVER – AGA COOKBOOK
The cookbook was edited by Tish Strandboge, Mac Shelton, Heather
Hodnett and Tracey Stark, and it's something you will want for
yourself and for friends. If you can't make it to the holiday event
but would like to purchase a copy of the first-ever AGA Cookbook, you
can make your purchase on eBay here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330642561268.
You may also contact us at fundr...@austingreyhounds.com to arrange
your purchase. Cookbooks are $20 each and all proceeds go to the
hounds! Thanks for your support of this important fundraiser.
SANTA PAWS IS COMING TO TOWN!
AGA has been invited to participate in the Southpark Meadows Petsmart
Santa Paws!!!
Santa Paws is an opportunity for all pets to have their picture taken
with Santa and all proceeds will go to Austin Greyhound Adoption. We
need a few volunteer elves to take and print pictures, but most
importantly we need a volunteer or two to play Santa!! The Santa suit
and all photography equipment will be provided; we just show up, have
fun and earn money for the hounds!! AGA will receive $5.00 from each
picture. Could fundraising get any easier than that?!?!?! Petsmart
anticipates this date to be one of their busiest days for Santa
pictures and potentially very profitable for AGA. PLEASE consider
volunteering, time slots are available from 11:00 – 1:30 and 1:30 –
4:00. Big "Thank Yous" to Heather Hodnett for pulling this together!
